BRONX - The NYPD released dramatic surveillance video which shows crooks using a handheld circular saw to cut into a Bronx business on Thanksgiving. 


At around 3 am on November 23, five men entered a Bronx photo studio on 139th Street. Surveillance video shows the crooks using a circular saw to cut into a door at the rear of the location. Once inside the suspects are seen rummaging through the location looking for valuables. 




Cops said the burglars eventually left after stealing cellphones from the business. The surveillance video captured the suspects wearing masks and balaclavas to hide their faces. However, one suspect was not so lucky. He was caught on camera without wearing a mask. 





Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
